23 General interim orders—taken to be special interim
orders if related charges laid
(a) the court makes a general interim order; and
(b) after the general interim order is made, but before the final order
is made, the respondent is charged with an offence; and
(c) the charge is related to the application for the final order.
(2) The general interim order is taken to be a special interim order—
(a) in the same terms as the general interim order; and
(b) subject to the same conditions as the general interim order.
Note The application for the final order must not be decided until all related
charges are finalised (see s 24AD (1)).
(3) Unless section 24AD (2) applies, the return date for a hearing to
decide the application for the final order must be changed after all
related charges are finalised to a day as soon as practicable after the
day all related charges are finalised.
